with this brief introduction, ws will give for
the benefit Of erring humanity few thoughts
under the above head.
~
The first matter that comes to our mind, il
the noticeable arrangement OF one Of our
business men, who has the habit Of disap-
pesring froA our midst every few days, lesv-
ing behind him, for the consolation of his
patrons, . card telling them when he will be
back. lie il = very large man, and large
men, you know, are always funny. We miss
him exceedingly, when hs is absent, and next
time he leaves us thus, we shall publish the
following doggeriil to explain his ABSENCE

But the above does not hold candle to the
irrepressible sandy haired individuality OF

Quite an exciting discussion recently took
place between young NJ. D., and lawyer,
both Of our town, in regard to Christianity
During the discussion their remarks turned
on Mormsnism. In controversy Of this
nature the Fool is right to home. He adheres
unwavsringly to the belief that man who
wants . plurality Of wives, is not sound in
his mind. The present time is not part Of the
dark ages-one wife is luxury in ethis en-
frightened ago of fashion and mammonism
The good old puritanical days, when wives
contributed to help man through life, are
now over. True, ss it is, that time waits for
no man, that same time is strangely tickle,
and it is a truism, which oil should and pro-
badly do understand, that one wife is sufi
eient, and sometimes more than sufficient.

Next week will have more to say, that il,
il W are alive by that time.

parts of the country, and requiring spe-
ci2l assessment of % cents per member.
Just now they have bought that prinCely
palace on North B -Oad street. The mem
beTs of the organization at large are not
benefited by it in any way. The general
officers and their clerks alone enjoy the
luxury, while the wretChed and unfor-
tunate members are left to suffer priva-
ton. for 1t. Our order, you know, is
composed mostly Of poor people, and it
seems absurd that our headquarters
should be more magnificent than those
Of the wealthiest corporations in the
land In my opinion it is q great mis-
take, and think the public outside will
come to entertain the same view Of it.
The heads Of the Knights of Labor can
make the very obvious retOrt that it is no
concern Of the outside public how the
money Of the organization is spent.
That is plainly the affair of the members
themselves, and, for our own part, we
have nothing TO say about the prOpriety
Of keeping up luxurious headquarters for
Mr.. POwderly and his executive board.
But the fact itself, and the way IN which
it may be regarded by the Knights of La
Dor, is certainly matter Of interest.

TIE Philadelphia Record, Democratic
to the backbone, seems to be opposed to
Mr. Randall as Democratic congress
man only. The Record says: "The
proposition to divide this city into
six Republican Congressional districts,
instead of gerrymandering Democratic
district for Mr.. S. J. Randall, is not by
any means to be considered as a project
to throw Mr.. Randall out of Congress.
On the contrary, he would be elected
in any one of the six Republican districts.
The fact that Mr.. RandaIl's value to the
Republicans would be largely destroyed
by electing him as Republican Is the
only reason for hesitation. As Repub-
ltcan congressman he would be as harm
less as q scorpion with the end Of his
tail cut off,"

The libel law has been discussed by the press
pretty thoroughly throughout the state, and
with out enc or two exceptions, all are agreed
that for the freedom of the press as contem-
plated by our national constitutes, the press Of
Texas must have legislative relief. We haze
watched the proceedings OF the Twentieth
Legislature with interest with the teps that
some measure of relief would be oHefed; but
up to this time it seems that body shave given
their time to the discussion of r9atters, the
most of which Is of much less Importance
The press wants protection againet the unprint
cipled blackmailer and that class Of its own
profession known as "skunks.'' The stability
and purity of our government depends in 3
great measure on the freedom of the press.
The press wants no quarantine against prose-
Cution for SANDER when such a complaint is
prediCated on meritOriOus facts; but protection
against that unprinCipled class of people who
under false pretenses seek to filCh large sums
of money from publishers on the plea OF slam
der, where the worst thing that could be
said of such characters could not be
construed otherwise than complimentary TO
their moral and social standing, being SO far
below zero. This is the class of individuals
the press wants protection against, and if the
Twentieth Legislature fall 10 give this matter
attention they will by so doing all to do a duty
they owe their country The press should have
the sa 'eguard OF the law thrown around them
n attacking corruption in low as well as in
high places, and no better evidence of corrup
lion in a public official should be required than
his unwihingness for free criticism of the
press.-T Abilene Reporter.
The libel law of Texas affords no pro-
lection to newspapers, but does offer a
premium on vexatious suits. Ii this III
famous statute is allowed to stand, it
may force newspapers to form an alliance
defensive against the two-bit characters
who attempt, through this law, to obtain
$40, 900 Endorsements. Under this beau
tifuI enactment, when a newspaper is so
unfortunate as to incorrectly characterize
the offenses against the lew and sOci-
ETY. which these men with scent
regulations 10 commit, a lawyer is en-
ployed to plead the damage TO character,
which suddenly becomes valued at thou
sands Of dollars. Will not the result be
to force newspapers to combine and adj
VGrtise to the world Just what such char
actors and regulations are worth? THE
GAZETTE ventures the prediction that II
the newspapers of Texas should form such
an alliance and pant from the court
records one of these tWo-bit regulations
in it's true light, there would never be in
Texas another effort to gid q scent
character with Z $4,000 libel suit. The
press can stop this thing if the press VIII
do it.

Knights IN Glover.


Descriptions of the new headquarters
of the Knights Of Labor give the reader
an impression of splendor that seems
oddly out of place for the chiefs of Or
ganized labor The building which has
been purchased for Mr.. PCwderly and
his assistants is fine old mansion in
Philadelphia. This was certainly got at
a bargain, for the owner let the carpets,
furniture and fixtures go with the house
for $4,000, after refusing, it is said,
$40, 900 for the property. This was q
more practical form of sympathy with
the aims aud principles Of the Knight of
Labor than O organizations Of any sort
usually get, and perhaps it was q
shrewd thing to close with so generous
an offer. Mr.. Powdarly and his exeCu-
tive board can at least say that the money
of their associates has been invested in a
security wholly unlikely to suffer from
deterioration in values, while at the same
time it provides them with an exceed
ingly comfortable place from which to
issue general orders to American work
ingmen.
1t is not at all strange, however, that
the luxury which, by all accounts, per
vades the new palace of labor in Pnila-
delphia has bred in some of the hard
working men Who have contributed to
its purchase feeling of outspoken dis
satisfaction. 1t is all very well to have
"thick, soft Brussels" frescoes and cost
ly chandeliers, and it is doubtless agree
able to the managing men that their room
for meeting should be "Ughted through
a dome of stained glass" But those
WHO find the assessments of the organize
ton a burden will naturally inquire what
good ell this ostentstiOus splendOr is
going to do them Some of the knights
who have been to see the Philadelphia
mansion have been, it is true, more i'm
pressed by the magnItcence into which
they were ushered than disturbed by the
thought that they are helping pay toIft.
They have told their comrades that the
general Office is Fsimply immense" and
that they "Waded up to their knees In
velvet carpets" But their pleasure in
performing this feat was not, we are told,
shared by all their friends at homefswho

AN ANARCHIST EPISODE.

The only really pathetic incident that
has come up in connection with the an
archists who are awaiting their fate in
Chicago is the death of Oscar Neebe's
wife. The Spies-Van Zandt wedding
(sO-called) lacked pathos and romance;
and the only sentiment it gave rise to was
that the gushing young woman ought to
be back in short dresses and st school.
But Neebe will have general sympathy,
even from those who abhor the man be-
cause OF his crime. He is under sentence
OF fifteen years imprisonment at hard
labor, being the only one of the principal
conspiTators who escaped the death pen
atty. When his verdict was announced
he stood up like q man and said he was
equally guilty with the others, and should
share their fate, begging the same SEN
tenCe that was awarded them. His
wife was a pale, patient lit
tie woman, and it WAS proven
she WAS not cogniZant Of the undertaking
in which her husband was engaged. She
sat by his side during the trial, when she
could leave her children, ignorant of the
English language, but listening wonder
ugly to all that was said and ever loyal
to Neebe. There is little doubt her death
vas fastened by the misfOrtunes that
crowded en- her and she died Of broken
heart The funeral was tn have 4skan
place yesterday and it is probable Neebe
was allowed to attend in charge of an
officer. One touch of humanity makes US
all akin and the spectacle of the con-
demned anarchist standing by his uncof-
fined wife, is, as above said, the only in
cident that has occurred IN connection
with the dark crime to lift any of the I'M
fortunate men out of the shadow that
envelops them and presents them in a
light that commands sympathy.

THE announcement is made that the
$3.50, 900 guarantee fund asked by D. L.
Moody to found in Chicago training
school for missionaries has been fully
subscribed. Among the subscriptions
are the following: John V. FarweII,
100000; Mrs. George Mccormick, $780,
600; Marshall Field, $4,000; T. W. Har-
yey, $4,000. We believe in missionary
work: would that all heathendom could
be Christianized. But we should much
prefer to see ell Christendom humanized,
While Messrs. FarWell, Field, ct al. are
so nobly administering to the heather in
foreign lands, we trust that they will not
forget the poor at their own doors-the
poor sewing women, many Of whom are
obliged to sell their souls to keep them
within their bodies a while longer.
